renaissance

Crazy as it seems, five years ago today I started this blog. Who knew. Seriously.

Truth be told, it was all on a whim- the blog, the title, what I thought I had to say. Over time, we found each other- and link after link, word after word ... it's been one heckuva long ride.

And here we are.

I have a feeling I will always be writing, whether it's here

or in my head

or on the back of opened envelopes.

My cape and mask (and sometimes moustache), this blog allows me to be who I dream to be, to meet myself, to pretend, to expose, to confide, to discover, and to break free from expectations and "the norm" and the... mundane.

And yet, as much as I try to break free from it, I find so much hidden beauty there, in all its flaws, the every day life.

This is my escape in which I find out that I actually love from whence I have fled, even if gone just for a moment. And so I write, and am ready to return.

Congrats Steph! Selfishly, I'm so happy you started this blog because it is how I met you! I'll never forget our first IRL moments, walking along the boardwalk at Disney, chatting, and getting your happy, positive energy!

Happy Blog Anniversary! I love your new look. Your blog was the first "mom blog" I have read. I love how you love your children and you inspire me to be a great mom. Thanks for sharing your heart every day!

Oh love it! AND I wanted to let you know I found a semi easy looking baby blanket pattern I'm going to try out-it is a mitered blanket...I knit triangles and then sew them together?? I think...Anyways, I'll be starting this weekend so I am a bit excited :)

Take care, Happy, Wonderful new years and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your blog :)

Love the new look with one small exception...I wish we could see Noah's sweet face. Happy blogging. I for one am very happy you started this blog. I love your writing style. You have such a flair for the written word. It's one of my favorite stops when I start reading blogs.

Gorgeous! Absolutely love the new look. I've been mulling over doing a redo at my site (mainly because my picture has two tinies and we're about to add a third). Yours is so clean and yet lovely. Quite matches your writing style, now that I think of it! And I echo many others here - yours is always one of my favourite stops.

i LooooooVe your new blog header. and the little moustache is there... too good.

we recently discovered the little moustaches that you can add to photos on picnik after one-person-too-many called out sweet son luca a girl. my hubby suggested we get a sharpie and draw him a 'stache every time we left the house. the picnik app has been a lot of fun!

Happy blogging anniversary, Stephanie. Your words have often been a guide through foggy patches from someone who has walked the motherhood path I'm treading and an arm around my shoulder letting my heart know it wasn't the only one feeling the way it often has.So glad I know you through this space, which, by the way, looks just beautiful with it's fresh do.
